Extremely powerful staff for level 38, comparable to Staff of Jordan, but much cheaper to get!

This is the first caster weapon (one which has stats for casters to benefit from) available that will allow the newer Burning Crusade enchants to be applied. It is an item level 46 without any specified required level to equip it. The quest level is only 30 to obtain it and it is available 5 levels sooner than the famous Staff of Jordan http://www.wowhead.com/?item=873 which is getting very rare and expensive. You give up 10 spell damage to the Jordan but for 5 levels sooner use and the free cost (quest reward), it is an incredible Horde item. This is something to consider even over the Hypnotic Blade from Scarlet Monestary because the Hypnotic Blade can't use the Burning Crusade enchants due to its level 34 requirement to equip it.

Sorry Kirby but your wrong. I’m not sure why there is so much confusion concerning the TBC enchants but let me clear it up here.

TBC enchants require the item be level 35 or higher.

If it is a quest item like this weapon for example, you will notice on the item it doesn’t have a required level to use, so when that it the case it goes by the item level to determine if a TBC enchant can be applied to it. This weapon happens to have an item level of 46 so while you can obtain the weapon at level 30 you can still use TBC enchants on it.

The other situation is dropped items such as http://www.wowhead.com/?item=873 or http://www.wowhead.com/?item=7714. When you have items that drop it does have a required level to use it. When an item has a required level to use it the requirements for TBC enchants are determined by that number and the item level is irrelevant.
